Gee, I miss the footy!

Post: # 848910Post Milan Faletic »

We're in that period between footy and the main cricket season.

I'm so bored sports wise. I know there are other things to do and I do other things....but without that weekly footy fix and the media full of news, I am walking the quiet streets of Melbourne like a dog without a bone.

I think the GF blues have finally hit me. There really aren't many exciting threads on the forum at the moment and that is understandable. I think most people are taking a break.

Go Socceroos??? and yay horses :?

Bring on 2010!

I agree.

While I am managing to catch up on all the things I didn't do and ppl I didn't see during the footy season, there still seems to be something missing.

I am finding myself surfing the net for obsure things and wacthing crap shows on pay tv.

Love the cricket, tennis and netball - but don't care for horse racing....so the next few weeks are going to be tough.

Not interested in other sports. Don't like cricket, just don't get it.....
I'm just sort of in limbo now til next season.


Shattered dreams are just opportunities for improvement. Live and learn, fail and try harder. 2011 beckons.

Yeah gotta say Im feeling it too

Love my Test cricket to death but growing very weary of one-dayers and just cant seem to get into twenty/20

Tennis bores me silly most of the time, too many boorish overpaid tantrum-throwers

Dont start me on the Spring Racing Carnival..they should make those tossers in the Nursery and Birdcage sit a test on horse racing before they let them in :roll: Id fail yes but Ive no interest in going in the first place.

Crickets dead - wooohooo....hope we beat the Windies and their 47 yr old captain so we get more Michael "Beckham" Clarke ads attempting to talk in a deeper voice.......still I do think the "national NSW side" should do well..

Horse racing - utter dribble. Do enjoy the phillies though......

Soccer? WTF.

Im running out of options......we have the best game in the world...

To all the people on here that hurried the season along, that said "I just want the finals to come now"

I hold you responsible for the fact that another season passed by to quickly :shock: :wink:

It's crappy, trade week over, a while until the draft. Even then it's boring.

I'm not into summer sports at all. Have the MLB play-offs, unfortunately the Yankees are through. The NFL, but unfortunately the time zone difference make it har too watch, very inconsiderate of them.
Looking forward to the Winter Olympics, which will also coincide with the beginning of the pre-season.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

Haven't been raiding my Saints DVD archive recently, such a great season and no premiership, too depressing!

Though I watched the '96 Ansett Cup recently, just for a bit of fun. Also checked out the '04 season highlights DVD, Luke Ball could certainly kick a goal back then!

Might try taking up the EPL again, tried last year but soccer is just so slow!

I know the feeling my usual way of reading the paper from the back first is just no fun without some good juicy footy news to be reading

Missing watching the saints in action :?

The Spring Racing Carnival is by far, the best sporting event in the country.

By a mile.

How can you not get excited by it?

Are you being sarcastic?

I actually really love racing so the spring carnival is always good.

My tips for the Melbourne cup:
Efficient
Cape Cover (Roughy)

I also think they are 2 of the most exciting horses to watch as they run at the back of the pack and then start mowing them down, down the outside

any other year i'd usually agree, but the pain of the grand final loss is still too strong to be missing footy. i really thought we would win it, in my heart of hearts... and i was crushed.

i had some covering bets on the cats and storm so i'll blow that on the spring carnival, but i'm still a month of two off missing footy i think.

mind you, the new house was finished today with the foxtel iq lines in. foxtel is back baby, and i'm going to be liking brisbane a whole lot more!!!
